Marjanovic provided seven points (1-2 FG, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 17 minutes in Thursday's 99-94 preseason win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
With Andre Drummond (illness) sitting out, Marjanovic benefited from double-digit minutes for the first time this preseason, and delivered some strong production off the bench. Aron Baynes is slated to enter the regular season as Drummond's top backup, which will likely keep Marjanovic out of the rotation most nights unless either of those other centers run into foul trouble.

Marjanovic's offer sheet from the Pistons was not matched by the Spurs on Sunday, Rod Beard of the Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marjanovic will now likey head to the Pistons for a three-year, 21 million dollar contract. The big man won't necessarily get more playing time than he did in San Antonio, as he'll likely be behind both Andre Drummond and Aron Baynes, so it's not expected that his value will take a huge uptick.

Marjanovic signed a three-year, $21 million offer sheet with the Pistons Thursday, Marc Stein of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marjanovic could potentially join a fairly crowded Pistons frontcourt where he would provide solid depth at the center position behind Andre Drummond. The only other center Detroit currently has on the team is Aron Baynes, giving Marjanovic an opportunity to come off the bench and bring matchup problems for any team the Pistons face. The Spurs will have three days to match Detroit's offer since Marjanovic is a restricted free agent.

Marjanovic has been extended a qualifying offer, likely making him a restricted free agent this offseason, Zach Lowe of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The offer is worth $1.5 million, and assuming Marjanovic declines the offer, he will become a restricted free agent this off season. Boasting a 7-foot-3, 290-pound frame, the Serbian is massive, but lacks the mobility and athleticism to be truly effective on the court. The 27-year-old will still have the ability to seek out an offer sheet this offseason, with the Spurs having the opportunity to match any offer.

Marjanovic didn't accrue any statistics in his one minute of court time during Sunday's 111-97 Game 4 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
With this second-round series being much more competitive than the Spurs' first-round trouncing of the Grizzlies, Marjanovic hasn't had many opportunities to see the floor. He's appeared in three of the first four games against the Thunder, logging no more than eight minutes in any contest.

Marjanovic scored 22 points (7-9 FG, 8-8 FT) to go with 12 rebounds, two blocks, and one assist across 37 minutes during the Spurs' 96-91 win over the Mavericks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Marjanovic committed two fouls in the opening quarter, but that did nothing to slow him down, as he scored a career-high 22 points in a career-high 37 minutes during Wednesday's regular season finale. The Spurs' rookie center may not see much time during the playoffs, but he definitely finished the year with a big bang.

Marjanovic managed nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, and two blocks in 22 minutes during the Spurs' 102-98 victory versus the Thunder on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Marjanovic saw his first minutes on the court alongside Tim Duncan last night, as coach Gregg Popovich looked to experiment. Since the Spurs are set to rest at least several veterans in Wednesday's season finale, Marjanovic will likely be a decent option in daily leagues so long as the small-ball Mavericks' offense doesn't force him off the floor.

Marjanovic scored 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-4 FT) while adding six rebounds, a steal and a block in 27 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Making just his second NBA start, the 27-year-old rookie played a season-high in minutes and didn't look out of place. Marjanovic's minutes are still highly dependent on who coach Gregg Popovich is resting on any given night as he prepares for the postseason, but when Tim Duncan is getting a breather, Marjanovic could be worth a look as a bargain option for your DFS roster.

Marjanovic will start at center Saturday against the Thunder, Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tim Duncan, LaMarcus Aldridge, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker are all resting for the second half of the Spurs' back-to-back set, while Kawhi Leonard (quad) sits out due to injury, leaving plenty of minutes available Saturday night. Look for Marjanovic to be one of the many beneficiaries, as he should see of his largest loads of playing time of the season due to the team's limited number of bodies. Marjanovic has been excellent on a per-minute basis this season, and recently turned in a 19-point performance in just 14 minutes of court time Wednesday against the Heat. With his court time on the rise Saturday, Marjanovic should merit consideration as a punt-play option at the center spot in DFS lineups.

Marjanovic poured in 19 points (9-12 FG, 1-1 FT) to go with four rebounds and a steal over 14 minutes in Wednesday's win against the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
After being recalled from the D-League on Tuesday, Marjanovich seemed as motivated as you'd expect in his 14 minutes of late-game run during San Antonio's blowout win. The 7-3 rookie has tantalizing potential but is nowhere near ready to earn steady minutes on a team poised for a title run. This career-high scoring output was encouraging, but it doesn't change head coach Gregg Popovich's long-term plan.
